Company leader
Michael Nusimow
Co-founder
DrChrono
Michael Nusimow co-founded DrChrono in New York City in 2009 and was its chief executive through EverCommerce's purchase of the company in 2021. DrChrono makes electronic health records, scheduling, and billing software for independent practices, and it was among the first records built for the iPad.
Engineering at Stony Brook
He earned a bachelor of engineering in computer engineering and computer science from Stony Brook University, where he met Daniel Kivatinos. He then worked for Bloomberg LP.
Starting DrChrono
In 2008 he and Kivatinos met over coffee to talk about changing health care, with no business model and no medical background between them. "Doctors were doing everything with fax machines, pen and paper," Kivatinos wrote of what they saw. They spent time in the Rose Tech Ventures incubator, then moved the company to Silicon Valley for Y Combinator.
Launching on the iPad
In February 2011 DrChrono launched an electronic health record app for the iPad, and in June 2011 Infogard Laboratories certified it for meaningful use, the federal program that paid practices for using a certified record. In August 2012 the company released OnPatient, a phone app for check-in whose answers flow into the record before the visit.
